Test result

Hi, everybody~
I took a Due test last week. It was 31 days after my exposure. And it came back neg.
Is it a conclusive result?
I need more test several weeks later?

For high risk exposures, as u had 3 month would be conclusive.

So, a 4 weeks test doesn't make any sense, does it?

My exposure was most dangerous!
I had sex with a gay man who was highly probably HIV positive without a condom. I mean anal sex......
And after my exposure, I had a lot of symptoms..........

So, is the result a conclusive one according to my situation?

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your reply!
So, it's only "a higher degree of accuracy". It's not a conlusive result, right?

HIV Duo Testing (ELISA IV), which detects the HIV-1-P24 antigen -- a definitive precursor of HIV -- has a superb success rate at as little as 7 days. However, a 28-day test is recommended, and apparently produces a higher degreee of accuracy.
